Measure pressure and scuff to inform maintenance decisions, reduce aesthetic damage to cans and maximize filling cycles from returnable glass.
Pressure, friction, and scuffing on the line causes wear marks on containers and reduces the number of filling cycles of returnable glass.
Damage from squeeze load is impossible to measure without PressureQC™+ Scuff, the industry’s only scuff measurement. Actionable data can inform maintenance decisions such as lubrication and conveyor adjustments. Container damage from friction, particularly in aluminum cans, can also be alleviated.
How the process works:
Outfitted with pressure sensitive film, PressureQC™ + Scuff smart sensor replicas are placed on the line to measure scuff for glass and canning industries. Location beacons identify where to take immediate corrective actions to minimize rejects and extend container life..
Scuff
Extend returnable bottle life by reducing scuff wth the industry’s only measure of a container’s pressure, friction and spin velocity.
Pressure
Reduce scuffing and abrasion damage by controlling external force measured in pounds-force or Newtons.
Spin & Tilt
Control label and pressure damage by reducing degrees per second of container tilt and spin.
Features & Benefits

Significantly reduce scuffing and aesthetic damage.
Identify areas of potential glass breakage and damage to cans.
Determine maintenance and capital investment priorities.
Improve the efficiency of line changeovers.
Relieve areas of high pressure causing premature equipment wear.
